"Ya!" said Suttum to Mr. Layard, as he waded his mare 

 through the flowers of a thousand hues, with which the vast 

 plains of Mesopotamia are carpeted, and the scented air per- 

 fumed, "Ya! what do the dwellers in cities know of true 

 happiness; they have never seen grass or flowers! What delight 

 has God given to us equal to this? It is the only thing worth 

 living for." Poor Suttum! he has since, it appears, fallen in 

 a foray, but if he has an epitaph, let it be inscribed upon the 

 monument that contains it, that he was a naturalist, and had a 

 fellow feeling with every other lover of nature. 



This species is plentiful near Newmarket, and at Gagmagog 

 Park, near Cambridge, and Mr. Dale records the neighbourhood 

 of Hull as another locality for it; Barnwell and Ashton AYold, 

 and the neighbourhood of Polebrook, Northamptonshire; near 

 Dover, Kent; Old Sarum, Wiltshire; Croydon, Surrey; Lewes 

 and Brighton, Sussex, are also its habitats. 



It is taken in the end of July, and the beginning and middle 

 of Autrust.
